Hyland Software, teaming up with HP, is embarking on a project to unearth World War II-era secrets.The Westlake-based software company said it's taking part in “a new stage of a document scanning and archiving project at Bletchley Park,” the country estate at the center of Britain's efforts to decrypt German coded messages during World War II.Bletchley Park is owned by the Bletchley Park Trust. HP and the trust started the first scanning phase of the project in 2010 as part of a five- to 10-year plan. “In undertaking this latest project between HP and Hyland, the Trust is seeking to digitally archive its extensive store of wartime paper documents such as intercepted messages, translations and maps,” Hyland said.HP is supplying the scanning hardware required, while Hyland Software is providing its hosted OnBase Online product to archive the scanned images.Hyland and HP's work comes 100 years after the birth of Alan Turing (1912-1954), the mathematician and early computer scientist who was a key Bletchley Park codebreaker.This story in The Wall Street Journal looks at an exhibit, “Codebreaker: Alan Turing's Life and Legacy,” that opened this week at London's Science Museum.When Mr. Turing was 24, “he made a hugely important contribution to mathematical logic, lobbing a bombshell into the philosophical discussion of whether any formal system of mathematics more complicated than arithmetic could be both consistent and complete, and whether there was any way to decide the issue,” The Journal notes.Part of his argument “was a thought-experiment imagining the universal 'Turing Machine,' a machine that can prove anything that is computable and then halt,” the newspaper says. Mr. Turing “proved that there is no algorithm for telling whether any given machine would stop, and that therefore the foundations of mathematics cannot be shown to be solid.”As a result, “Turing is often considered a founder of computer science and artificial intelligence — the principles behind today's laptops and smart phones.”After the war, Mr. Turing, who was gay, “was convicted of 'gross indecency' and sentenced to chemical castration with estrogen,” according to The Journal. “On June 7, 1954 he took his own life by eating an apple laced with cyanide.”

This and that

If at first your don't succeed: A feature story in Investor's Business Daily looks at the long path to success of inventor Charles Goodyear, who revolutionized industry through rubber vulcanized — a chemical process that solidifies its physical properties."Without vulcanization, rubber in warm weather is soft and gooey and in cold weather hard and brittle," Keith Price, a spokesman for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., tells the newspaper. "Stability was the key to opening the rubber market."In 1898 — 38 years after Charles Goodyear's death — Frank Seiberling founded Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. The company's sales topped $23 billion in 2011.

That was unexpected: A welcome American food trend is better eating options at airports, and Forbes.com says one of the best examples of that is at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.“While the original and legendary Obrycki's crab house in Baltimore has closed, the outposts in (Baltimore) and Cleveland airports are still thriving,” writes Forbes.com contributor Larry Olmsted. “I had a crab cake at the Cleveland airport two weeks ago — the same week I traveled to Baltimore and its famed Lexington Market — and I can say that shockingly the Cleveland version was just as good, really a world-class crab cake.”

Cramer's all in: If you're inclined to take advice from CNBC's Jim Cramer, it's time to buy stock in Eaton Corp.On his “Mad Money” program, Mr. Cramer noted that industrials have been hammered lately, sending Eaton's stock down 25% from its 52-week high.“Eaton's got a lot going for it here, from the transformational Cooper Industries deal, to its exposure to energy efficiency, aerospace and trucking,” Mr. Cramer said. “But the reason this stock is now safe to buy is because it's come down so far that it now has an accidentally high 3.98% yield, and that's the level where it becomes safe to own an industrial like Eaton.”He noted the company is the No. 1 or No. 2 player in most every market in which it operates.

Room with a view: The Manhattan penthouse owned by Ted Forstmann, the private-equity billionaire and CEO of Cleveland sports marketing giant IMG who died last November, sold for $40 million — 11% more than the asking price, Bloomberg reports.“The buyers in the upper-upper end of the market continue to demonstrate a very strong appetite for these types of trophy properties, so we were not surprised to see a penthouse of this caliber soar over its asking price,” a broker involved in the deal tells Bloomberg.

Still on top: As The Washington Postsees it, U.S. Sen. Rob Portman from Cincinnati remains the frontrunner to be Mitt Romney's running mate.“The Ohio senator has dropped from 'it boy' status in the last month but still makes the most sense as a pick,” The Post says. “He's a proven commodity about whom there is little to no doubt as to whether he could serve as president.”

Local guy makes good: The just-elected president of AFSCME — the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees — has Cleveland ties.Lee Saunders, 60, is the son of a bus driver and a community activist in Cleveland, Bloomberg notes. Mr. Saunders started as a worker in Ohio employment services in 1975. He joined AFSCME as a labor economist in 1978 and later worked as an administrator of several AFSCME councils.He was the union's No. 2 official and “was seen by workers as a leader who would maintain predecessor Gerald McEntee's push to spend on national political campaigns, while recruiting members among workers such as home- and child-care employees and in Southern states traditionally unfriendly to unions,” according to the news service.Mr. McEntee is retiring after more than three decades in the top job.
